ton reciting sundry cruel evictioLs in
northwestern Iowa are corroborated
by one Of the most reliable citizens OF
O'Brien county. In regard to the
English land company, which Is said
to be turning American citizens out Of
their houses, he said:
They are an old firm, organized into
the Western Land company. They
bought from the old McGregor West
ern, or it's assigns, the Milwaukee and
Sioux City companies, some lands
granted to the McGresor Western In
1854, but never earned, for the road
was never built. When Teller was
secretary Of the interior he and the
land commissioner both declared the
lands unearned and promised to open
them for settlement. On the faith Oh
these declarations and promises some
settlers went on these lands and built
their homes. The English syndicate
now has the railroad title and pro-
poses to keep possession. At least
one hundred families have been evict
ed. Before they get through the
number will be increased TO lao. The
Finch family locked the doors against
the intruders, but the doors and win
dows were broken In and they wer'
compelled to spend the night on the

Sol Hedges, of Mcdonald creek, was
in town this week. He had q queer
experience, which he may not relate
when he gets home. Sol is not famil'
lar with the rules and dignities which
"doth hedge about" court, conse'
quently he did not enter tue court
room with grave aud quiet demeanor
but bounded up stairs whistliug like a
mocking bird. Upon entering the
court room Judge Bach called the
young man forward and asked IL it
was he who had done the whistling.
Sol thought too much of his talent rs u
whistler TO deny the charge; where
upon the Judge ordered the clerk to
enter fine of $40. and that the sheriff
take charge of Sol until the fine was
paid. Sol protested good naturedly
for while TO the sheriff, but finally
went to the bank and got the money.
After the fine was paid Sol admitted
that he had paid dear for his
whistle, 4" but was glad to get II pack at
any price. Subsequently Judge Bach
sent for the young man and remitted
the fiue, believing that be intended no
indignity, as of course he did not, it
being only thoughtless pucker OF the
lips. Sol said the experience did him
lots of good. Argus.

TROUBLE EXPECTED.

over the Boundary Line In the Yukon
Country.
IL is whispered that the English su-
thorities will next year endeavor TO
collect tax on the output from the
placer mines on Forty Mile creek they
claiming il a. being British territory.
Ii undoubtedly lies near the line, but
the chances are rather of it belonging
to the United States. The miners as
sert positively that they. will not sub
NIT to it, in which event English
troops will De taken into the territory
and serious difficulties are liable to en-
sue. Our government should make
preparations forthwith 10 establish
the boundary line, not later than
next fall she will awake to the realizs-
tion that she has another difficulty Of
no less Importance than the Behring
sea question on her hands to settle.
As long as they believe the new dis
coveries 10 lay liz United States terri
tory. all the powers on earth combined
could not force the American miner TO
pay over a certain portion of his
seasons work to the British authori-
ties. 1t is presumed by the miners
that this is the case. While on the
other hand the English government
are nov laying claim 10 u section of
country fully 100 miles below where
they have always claimed the line
crossed the Yukon river, and II any
attempt is made by them to
collect taxes from this section
serious trouble between the
miners and the authorities is likely
to result. The Yukon country is
proving itself to be rich enough to pay
the U. 5. government to establish the
boundary line, and justice to the
American miners demands that IL
should be done at once. Miners going
to that section have hardships enough
